Adobe 2 Month Subscription for MDH OET Non-Medicaid

The Maryland Department of Health's Office of Enterprise Technology is conducting a Small Business Reserve (SBR) procurement for a two-month Adobe software licensing purchase under the state's Commercial Off-the-Shelf Software (COTS 2012) master contract. The procurement seeks to acquire multiple Adobe software licenses, including 2,123 licenses of Adobe Acrobat Pro, 43 licenses of Adobe Standard, Adobe Stock packages, Adobe Technical Communication Suite, Adobe All Apps Plan, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Adobe Photoshop. The proposal is due on 06/16/2025 at 1:00 pm local time, with a software license period starting 07/27/2025 and expiring on 09/22/2025. Evaluation criteria will focus on conformance to specifications, lowest bid, and submission of a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) screenshot. Bidders must provide new, unused software and be authorized Adobe product resellers. Invoicing will be handled electronically through mdh.oetnminvoices@maryland.gov, with specific submission requirements.

This procurement is exclusively reserved for certified small businesses meeting Maryland's statutory requirements, effectively limiting participation to only those organizations that qualify under the Small Business Reserve designation. The contract will be fixed-price and restricted to Master Contractors already awarded under the COTS 2012 contract. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the comprehensive nature of the software licensing suggests a significant investment in enterprise-level technology solutions for the Maryland Department of Health. The procurement targets non-Medicaid technology needs, indicating this is part of a broader technology refresh or standardization effort for the department's operational technology infrastructure. Potential bidders must demonstrate not only technical capability but also compliance with the state's small business guidelines, creating a competitive environment that supports local and smaller technology service providers.
